Iowa pursues own Summer EBT alternative after rejection
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds rejected the federal Summer EBT program for this summer and seeks a USDA waiver to fund a state designed summer feeding plan. The plan would widen eligibility, offer on site meals, and provide monthly food boxes with delivery options. The federal program, known as SUN Bucks, operates in 37 states and serves about 21 million eligible children nationwide. The USDA notes some states faced delays and higher benefit needs, but advocates call Summer EBT a valuable tool against summer hunger despite early hiccups.
